| ||
Thanks to Vicki for sending this in! ChatMod: Hi everyone, thanks for joining us here. I'm Ben Trumble for SCIFI. Tonight we're pleased to welcome Roswell actress Shiri Appleby. Hard to believe, but Shiri has been been in show business for twenty years, appearing in series as diverse as Doogie Howser MD, Xena, and Baywatch, as well as in feature films like last year's Swimfan. On Roswell, Shiri plays high school student Liz Parker who works in her father's diner, the Crashdown Cafe. Roxy: If you could choose the people you work with on a movie, who would you pick and why? moni31: Here's my question for Shiri. Why did you cut your hair? psloveml: Watching you on Roswell was great. What was your favorite episode? AlienJunkie: Ms. Appleby, did you ever read the Roswell High books before you tried out? MrShiriAppleby: Who did you enjoy working with more, Jason Behr or Jesse Bradford? djou: Do you like travel? Would you to come in switzerland? Lost: I hear you are working on a new movie, "The Skin Horse." Is this true? and I was also wondering if you would still do music videos? sierradanielle: What is your favorite memory of when you were on the show? Adam: Hello, Shiri. First, I would like to say you are great! My question is - What do you think of the Virtual Season 4 Roswell fanfics, such as www.roswellthefinalchapter.net? moni31: There's a rumor going around about a Roswell movie. Would you consider reprising your role as Liz Parker Evans? Margarita-Salt: What are some of your favorite TV shows? ChatMod: Hi, Shiri! Out of all the guys that you have worked with, who was the best kisser? psloveml: Do you still keep in touch with everyone that was on Roswell? lizzy285: Which scene was the more difficult to turn in Roswell? dreamgirlj: Shiri, you are a wonderful actress let me just say! If you had the opportunity to do a TV show again in the future, would you? and what kind would you like to do? planetarian: What new projects are you in? lizzy285: In Swimfan, you turned a scene in the swimming pool.How was that? Therron: Hey Shiri. What are you into right now musically? If we opened your CD player what would we find? thekindler: Miss Appleby, thank you so much for being here with us! Will "A Time for Dancing" ever be released in the USA? AlienJunkie: Did you think there were similarities between your Roswell and Swimfan characters? MrShiriAppleby: Who are your favorite actor and actress? veralyn: What are you doing when you aren't filming? sierradanielle: Who do you get star-struck by? thanette: Do you ever attend fan conventions or benefits like the Zeke Lerner Bowl-a-thon next month? norzLOST2: Shiri, just wondering if you have a website of your own like Brendan's? planetarian: Are you going to the SciFi premiere fan event? Mandy: If you could change anything about Roswell, what would it be? roswellfan92: Will Roswell ever be released on DVD? A****ly: When the show ended, did you take anything from the set? moni31: Shiri, I'm a huge Max/ Liz fan and I was wondering if you were upset by the Max/Tess baby storyline because I know alot of us were? SammyJ: Hey Shiri, was wondering what your opinion is about these two episodes of Roswell "Leaving Normal" & "Heart of Mine"? Cshell: Where do you see yourself in ten years? Diversity: Are you still knitting when time permits? MrShiriAppleby: Since Roswell, have you taken an interest in science fiction? veralyn: I know you have been doing acting since you were a little girl but you took a break in high school. Was it easy getting back into it... getting roles? qt4167013: In Roswell and Swimfan you played sort of the goody-two-shoes nerd sort of character. was it easy to relate to, or did you have to stretch? Margarita-Salt: What kind of character will you be playing in "The Skin Horse"? Katherine-behr: Shiri, out of all the characters you have played, who was your favourite? SciFi: Do you have an opinion concerning the way the Liz character evolved? In the first season she was smart, independent, a leader of the group in her own right; by season 3, she lost a lot of that and became very dependent on her relationship to Max. Dreamer4Ever: What was it like filming the "End of The World" episode, because you showed such extreme emotion in that episode. ChatMod: What would you do if you couldn't be an actress? Minanda: There were rumors that you were upset during the filming of "Max to the Max" and that something Jason said helped to soothe you. Could you possibly tell us what he said to soothe you? bigspam: Your new film sounds like you want to really stretch your horizons from parts (i.e. waitresses), which I think we all look forward to by the way. Is it hard to totally reconfigure the way you think about playing a role? Or do you let the director nudge the character in the way he/she would like it seen? Olka: Would you like to play in soap opera again? norzLOST2: There is this question that a lot of people had about the show. Isabel and Max came out of the Pod the same time... then how come Isabel end up being older ? A****ly: Are there any limits that you would set when choosing a particular role? Such as no nudity, no playing someone who is abusive... those are vague, but yeah. SciFi: After doing three years on a series and also doing a few films, which type of work do you prefer? WasteKate: After Alex's death, was it different on the set without Colin? bigspam: I had the fortunate opportunity to watch filmings in Covina. Sometimes we thought you practiced facial expressions on the sidelines. Is that perhaps what we saw? And thanks for playing to our cameras at the ending of "Three Aiens and a Baby". WasteKate: As the show was coming to an end, do you feel that there were any regrets about how it ended or your experience on the series? ChatMod: How much leeway did the various directors give to the actors on Roswell? Did they allow you much input in how a scene was played? AZfire: Shiri! Have you ever really disliked a role or script you have had to perform? Roxy: How was William Sadler as a co-worker and director? Margarita-Salt: We know you and Majandra are close, but how did you get along with Emilie and Katherine? muse: Shiri, who did you learn the most from on the set of Roswell? ChatMod: How long between the pilot and the time you started the first season? Mandy: Shiri, if you were to switch actors for a character, who would you change and why? planetarian: Do you miss being on the show? sierradanielle: Was there any roles that you gave up because you were doing the show that you wish you hadn't? Margarita-Salt: Awhile ago, there was a rumour that you were in negotiations to do a movie called "Van Helsing" with Hugh Jackman. Is there any truth to that? ChatMod: What advice do you give to aspiring actors? |
